Study Notes
Problem Identification
- Problem identification starts the innovation process
- Observing problems in daily life helps to identify opportunities
- Startup ideas come from observing, asking “Why Not?”, and staying curious
- Startups that fail often haven’t identified the right problem to solve
Identifying the Right Problem
- Startups need to identify a problem they want to solve
- Real-world problems need to be identified using the "problems worth solving" filter
- The filter considers if the problem is relevant, passionate, painful/desirable, matters to many, and has not been solved many times already
Examples of Startup Fails
- Juicero failed because their solution was too expensive for the problem it solved
- Hike Messenger failed because their problem wasn't seen as crucial by enough users
The Process of Finding Powerful Ideas
- The process involves a four-step process:
- Be Curious
- Identify Problems
- Validate Problems
- Generate Ideas
- The process starts with observing the world around you
- It is important to discover what you are passionate about
- Ideas need to resonate with your passion and offer solutions
- The final step is to validate solutions, business models, etc.
